I cannot fathom why an airframe couldn't have been donated to the Moravia museum in Scotland, short term gains in cash, must surely be outweighed buy the tourism and possible employment opportunities it could have provided....
Sadly because the f***ing bean counters are involved! We can "gift" millions of £s worth of kit to the Afghans, we can "gift" millions of £s worth of armoured vehicle and non-offensive kit to a bunch of Syrian (et al) terrorists, but we can't gift £10000 worth of VC10 to a British museum. No we would be happier seeing them turned into scrap metal for the return of a few measly pounds! Utterly, utterly ridiculous!!
